Lou,
Nokia is failing because Microsoft wants to purchase them for the
patents they hold, and a new factory in Vietnam. There are other
benefits as it gives Microsoft a distribution system, but the Windows
phone is a flop, that came late to market.
Nokia Board of directors, before Microsoft appeared must be sitting
pretty, on a pile of money to let the company die an early death, but the
employees that were responsible for keeping the R & D going are working
for someone else.
Microsoft believes it can use the patent portfolio to sue its way into a
additional profit, and if you look deep into what Nokia has in their
patients holdings whomever get hold of that company will be rolling in
cash from a good number of phone companies for a long while...
Microsoft has systematically ruined Nokia, so they can become a hero and
purchase it for pennies on the dollar...
I hope there is a group of cooperative phone companies bands together and
does a hostile take over to thwart Microsoft grandiose plans and have
them pay dearly for the manufacture of the last few smart phones they
think they can sell, or will keep for souvenirs...
